Efficient spin control in high-quality-factor planar micro-cavities
A semiconductor microcavity embedding donor impurities and excited by a laser
field is modelled. By including general decay and dephasing processes, and in
particular cavity photon leakage, detailed simulations show that control over
the spin dynamics is significally enhanced in high-quality-factor cavities, in
which case picosecond laser pulses may produce spin-flip with high-fidelity
final states.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Faster Compact On-Line Lempel-Ziv Factorization
We present a new on-line algorithm for computing the Lempel-Ziv factorization
of a string that runs in time and uses only bits
of working space, where is the length of the string and is the
size of the alphabet. This is a notable improvement compared to the performance
of previous on-line algorithms using the same order of working space but
running in either time (Okanohara & Sadakane 2009) or
time (Starikovskaya 2012). The key to our new algorithm is in the
utilization of an elegant but less popular index structure called Directed
Acyclic Word Graphs, or DAWGs (Blumer et al. 1985). We also present an
opportunistic variant of our algorithm, which, given the run length encoding of
size of a string of length , computes the Lempel-Ziv factorization
on-line, in time
and bits of space, which is faster and more space efficient when
the string is run-length compressible
Competing Ground States of the New Class of Halogen-Bridged Metal Complexes
Based on a symmetry argument, we study the ground-state properties of
halogen-bridged binuclear metal chain complexes. We systematically derive
commensurate density-wave solutions from a relevant two-band Peierls-Hubbard
model and numerically draw the the ground-state phase diagram as a function of
electron-electron correlations, electron-phonon interactions, and doping
concentration within the Hartree-Fock approximation. The competition between
two types of charge-density-wave states, which has recently been reported
experimentally, is indeed demonstrated.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures embedded, to appear in J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Elementary Excitations of Heisenberg Ferrimagnetic Spin Chains
We numerically investigate elementary excitations of the Heisenberg
alternating-spin chains with two kinds of spins 1 and 1/2 antiferromagnetically
coupled to each other. Employing a recently developed efficient Monte Carlo
technique as well as an exact diagonalization method, we verify the spin-wave
argument that the model exhibits two distinct excitations from the ground state
which are gapless and gapped. The gapless branch shows a quadratic dispersion
in the small-momentum region, which is of ferromagnetic type. With the
intention of elucidating the physical mechanism of both excitations, we make a
perturbation approach from the decoupled-dimer limit. The gapless branch is
directly related to spin 1's, while the gapped branch originates from
cooperation of the two kinds of spins.Comment: 7 pages, 7 Postscript figures, RevTe
Charge 4/3 leptons in cosmic rays
A cosmic ray counter telescope has been operated at zenith angles of 0, 40, 44, and 60 degs in order to look for charge 4/3 particles. A few million clean single cosmic rays of each zenith angle are analyzed
